There really is no way to make it sound like an NA GT3 for a few reasons, like the two turbos on the 997TT

I think the other limitation is the design of the muffler. When you look at other turbo cars you can go canister type, regular OEM style, box, you name it that allow for very different sounding setups.

Here are a few pix of the 4-hose kit from EVO (in red) and the EVO headers and club sport intercoolers... The shrouds need to be modified slightly to fit the ICs. The new hoses aren't quite as visable on the 997TT as on the 996TT because of the new y-pipe (made out of plastic this time) having longer arms. The plumbing is quite different this time around. The headers hang slightly lower than stock but you can see the picture comparing the collector to the stocker...
